Scott Lynn has put together a captivating account of one of the great high school basketball teams of all time - the 1971-72 Illinois state champion Thornridge Falcons. Lynn deftly details how hurdles, caused by the racial integration of black students into previously all-white Thornridge, are overcome that enable the school to have unprecedented basketball success.

Fascinating personal stories abound about the principle members of the team, from Coach Ron Ferguson to star player Quinn Buckner. Readers will come away feeling that they shared this memorable period in our nation's history with those who made it at Thornridge High School.
